    Glonus chinese

    January 6, 2007 - By 

    David and I went shopping at Woodfield yesterday for jeans and what-not, and stopped at Stir Crazy, the eclectic Asian bistro, for lunch. I noticed that they're still using the wacky Chinglish chopsticks; the paper cover says something about the "glonus Chinese culture cuisine." That would be "glorious," y'all.

    Biden: Bush Just Holding On To Hand Off To Some Other Loser?

    January 5, 2007 - By 

    White House Postponing Loss of Iraq, Biden Says – washingtonpost.com Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. D-Del., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said yesterday that he believes top officials in the Bush administration have privately concluded they have lost Iraq and are simply trying to postpone disaster so the next president will "be the guy landing helicopters inside the Green Zone, taking people off the roof," in a chaotic withdrawal reminiscent of Vietnam. "I have reached the tentative conclusion that a significant portion of this administration, maybe even including the vice president, believes Iraq is lost," Biden said. "They…

    Post-Pat Robertson Palate Cleanser: Episcopal Humor

    January 4, 2007 - By 

    From daily episcopalian: Aint Misbehavin Came across this ditty on the House of Bishops and Deputies list (of all places) today. It is a lyric by Garrison Keillor. Sung to the tune of Ain't Misbehavin'. I'm slow to anger, don't covet or lust. No sins of pride except sometimes I really must. Episcopalian, saving my love for you. The theology's easy, the liturgy too. Just stand up and kneel down and say what the others do. Episcopalian, saving my love for you. I bless myself with a flick of the wrist. You'd never know I was raised fundamentalist. Episcopalian, saving…

    Cloudbait Observatory – January 4, 2007 Fireball in Colorado

    January 4, 2007 - By 

    Cloudbait Observatory – January 4, 2007 Fireball A large object, thought to be a Russian second-stage rocket from a launch last week, broke up over the West in a spectacular display this morning may have been visible from Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico in addition to Colorado. It made the morning news in Denver because commute-report news helicopters managed to capture good video images of it. It passed very close to Grand Junction, my home town and a fairly large population center. If you saw the object, you can file a report at the Cloudbait.com site.  I don't know if it would…

    The Homage of Reason

    January 3, 2007 - By 

    Jefferson on Politics & Government: Governed by Reason Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear." –Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1787. ME 6:258 Papers 12:15 I can't believe that no one has ever used this as a book title; there are plenty of books that reference it.  What a perfect image, and a most timely and reassuring quote. Ran across it in a couple of comments at Faithful Progressive, where WWDTM's Roxanne Roberts is quoted from her Washington Post…

    An Elegant Solution: Jefferson’s Quran

    January 3, 2007 - By 

    NPR : Ellison to Use Thomas Jeffersons Quran in Ceremony Newly elected Rep. Keith Ellison announced last month that he planned to take the oath of office with his hand on the Quran. The decision by the Minnesota Democrat, the first Muslim elected to Congress, drew criticism. But now Ellison says he plans to use a copy of the Quran once owned by Thomas Jefferson. Michele Norris talks with Mark Dimunation, chief of the Rare Book and Special Collections Division of the Library of Congress, who helped Ellison locate Jeffersons Quran. You know what? This is all right. All right.…

    Indy: Oldest. Whippersnapping Archeologist. Evaarrrr.

    January 3, 2007 - By 

    NPR : Harrison Ford Returns As Indiana Jones Another graying action star is reviving an old role. Harrison Ford will once again crack the whip, 18 years after Indiana Jones' last adventure. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are also back, directing and producing. Excited fans do wonder if, at 64, Indy can still do the stunts. I'm wondering, too. I'll never forget the time I saw the first Indiana Jones movie, which was around New Years when I was still in college. I've been a fan of Harrison Ford's since American Graffiti and Star Wars (okay, yes, I've had the…
